ONLINE Upcycled Bookbinding: Envelope Binding
Event Information
Description
**Please note - this workshop will now be delivered online. Read on for details.**
This book takes inspiration from the humble envelope and my favourite childhood storybook - the Jolly Postman. A great book for storing memories, special cards and letters.
We'll start by creating a selection of envelopes out of decorative paper before stitching them together using a french link stitch. To finish off we will add a card cover, ribbon fastening and some personal touches to make your journal one-of-a-kind.
This book works well as a memory book, photo album or travel journeal, with options to bind in pages, cards and used envelopes.
** Due to the current situation with Covid 19 this workshop will be delivered remotely - upon placing an order, you will receive a bookbinding kit, which includes all the tools and materials you need (minus a cutting mat and pair of scissors) to made an A6 envelope book, plus exclusive access to my online video tutorial and an invite to join my virtual classroom.
Kits will be posted out asap and you will receive a link to my private video tutorial via email on the morning of 28 April, along with login details for my virtual classroom, which I will be monitoring from 1-4 pm to answer any questions / help if you get stuck and give you a virtual high five for completing your book!
Ordering additional kits - if you want to make more than one book or are looking for an opportunity to get creative with someone else in your household, you can order additional kits to be posted out to the same address when placing your order.
This workshop is suitable for children that are comfortable with using scissors and a needle and thread, so if you have found yourself homeschooling, this could be a great project to work on together!
PLEASE NOTE: I can currently only deliver kits within the UK.
*I have limited the number of places on this workshop to ensure that I can give everyone adequate support in the virtual classroom. More kits and video tutorials for some of my favourite upcycled bookbinding techniques coming soon, see www.BookbindingwithCass.eventbrite.com .
**Spaces on this class are limited and there will be no refunds or transfers once a booking has been made, unless your place can be filled from a waiting list, in which case the full fee will be refunded. If the workshop is cancelled for any reason, you will be offered either a cash refund or the option of being transferred to an alternative event.**
Organiser Bookbinding with Cass
Organiser of ONLINE Upcycled Bookbinding: Envelope Binding
I am passionate about making books and using everyday, upcycled materials to create something both personal and unique. I make travel journals, wedding books and photo albums by commission but what I get a real buzz out of is sharing skills and teaching bookbinding workshops.
I work in collaboration with a range of organisations and cultural venues across Scotland to devise and deliver workshops, past partnerships include - Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, The Edinburgh Remakery, Leith Academy, Dynamic Earth, Voluntary Action Service South Lanarkshire. I also run workshops in more informal settings, for parties, event openings and groups of friends.
Each workshop is tailor-made to fit the requirements of the group and everyone leaves with their very own finished book and the skills to make many more.
